Masaru Kohno No. 30 Classical Guitar

I looking to sell my 1981 Kohno 30 classical guitar. It is in excellent condition, only a few minor cosmetic marks. Many people who have played and heard it over the years have said it is one of the finer Kohno 30s that have heard. I'm not sure what to ask for the price, I couldn't find any similar guitars for sale on the internet. I am open to offers. Please email me at streilly (at) hotmail.com if you are interested (or post a reply or question here). I am located in Houston, TX USA and can ship. I would welcome any comments about this guitar.

I am a Singaporean and I have this model. Also constructed in 1981. My late father bought it for me in 1982 when I reached the Yamaha Classic Guitar 5th Grade.

Its a wonderful guitar with an enrich tone and powerful sound projection. Though slightly harder to play compared to most Spanish Luthiers guitars.

Last I heard in the mid 1990s, the No 30 model costed about 300,000 Japanese Yen. As Mr. Kohno had passed away in 1998, his disciple, Masaki Sakurai has his own models. Masaru Kohno guitars are very rare these days. One of Japanese leading guitarist, Kaori Muraji was in Singapore recently. She plays one of Masaru Kohno models, probably the No.40 or No.50 model. The sound is so rich.

If anyone has any knowledge of this guitar could you please post a comment? I have really enjoyed playing this guitar for the last 25 years, but I’m really not sure of the value or opinions around Masaru Kohno guitars these days.
